Hello, its Peter here and welcome to todays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six as usual. Ill have all the days news and Paul will have the forecast.
Tonight on the programme, we'll have the latest on the hunt for the killer of Hull mother, Lynne Barwick. Humberside Police are launching a fresh appeal for one very crucial witness to come forward. Along with those CCTV footage pictures of Lynnes last movements, the police are hoping to jog the memory of local residents and help catch her killer. Ill have the latest on that investigation. Look North will have a special report tonight from Boston as the police and local ethnic minorities join forces to help prevent any trouble at this weekend's World Cup match. They wish to prevent a repeat of the violence that occurred at Euro 2004s match between England and Portugal in the town of Boston. Ill have more on whats being done to help prevent a repeat of the trouble. And on Look North, find out why greyhound racing is coming to an end in Hull. The Boulevard Track is, apparently, going to the dogs, but Ill have the full story on that later. Plus find out why goat's milk is going down a storm in the East Riding and the jazz legend, Curtis Stigers, is joining me for a chat before his big concert in Yorkshire. And can you believe it? I'll have the pictures of the unusual albino donkey, which has just been born in a farm in Gainsborough. As you can imagine it's turning a few heads! Thats at half past six as ever. Big Screen Tonight, the Big Screen in Hull is presenting the Marriage of Figaro live from the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. The entertainment starts at 6.30pm and the actual performance begins at 7.00pm. Its free to attend and we also provide the chairs! Its the 250th anniversary of Mozart, so it should be a good time to see this performance. Its also one of the most famous and most easily accessible operas. So if you want to come along, then I hope you enjoy it. Thats at the Big Screen where the Marriage of Figaro is being screened live from the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. The entertainment starts at 6.30pm, but the actual performance begins at 7.00pm! Comedy We were talking last night on the programme to the actress Gywneth Strong, who played Cassandra in Only Fools And Horses. Thats the classic sitcom of course with David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst and also the very talented Buster Merryfield. But talking of comedy, I read in the paper this morning about John Inman. John is now seventy-one and he played the shop assistant, Mr Humphries in Are You Being Served? Sadly, it says, that John Inman is unwell with the serious liver infection, Hepatitis. But he is still able to give quotes and little snippets to the papers. The classic comedy actor, John Inman is seventy-one and not very well at the moment, so we wish him well. Ramsay The professional swearer and part time chef well thats one way of putting it I suppose! Gordon Ramsay has become so foul mouthed on the television now that the bleep machine is no longer enough. Desperate programme editors are struggling to censor his latest series and are now resorting to blurring his mouth to prevent viewers from lip reading his expletives. The drastic action was taken after the American audiences complained that the British cooks language was too hot to handle. In his show, Hells Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay doesnt pull any punches and the swearing is so bad that some people are complaining that they can still lip read the swear words, so they are blurring his mouth so as not to offend anyone. Happiness One paper has published the top ten list of things that we can do to make ourselves feel happy. It says that bringing up children can leave, even the most patient mother, feeling tired and irritable, but theyre asking how they can put a smile on her face. Well, the things we need to do is to count our blessings, list the ten things you like about yourself in a happiness diary and have a laugh every day. Laughter comes easily to children, so try to giggle yourself. Do a good turn that will make you happy apparently, like let someone else have your parking space or offer your partner a massage that will make you feel happy. Treat yourself every day, which could become expensive of course. Halve your TV viewing, and say hello to a stranger. Just smile and say hello to a stranger Im sure they will look at you as if youre potty, but I suppose its worth a go! Look after something youve planted in the garden. Well, Ive never planted anything. Get physical and do one hun! dred skips every day and that will make you happy. Ill think Ill give that a miss too! Ive never heard so much rubbish in my life. Desert Island Discs Well, as you know Sue Lawley decided to call it a day on Desert Island Discs earlier this year and there has been much discussion as to who would take over one of the most prestigious jobs in radio. The BBC yesterday confirmed that Channel 5 news presenter, Kirsty Young, has got the plum job. In the running were Andrew Marr, Michael Palin and Michael Parkinson. They all wanted the job as the Radio 4 host of the programme and its only been the fourth time that theres been a vacancy in sixty-four years. Its gone to Kirsty Young though. What do we think about that? Do you think shes a good choice or not? Theres a lot of people saying that theyre not sure at all. Your views on that or on anything else, then get in touch. And dont forget if youve got a problem or an issue that you think we could help you with on the programme, then get in touch [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keane Weve got some fab tickets to give away if youre a fan of the band, Keane. Two pairs of tickets to give away to see them when they come to Hull in October. All you have to do is to name their new album, which has just been released. Nice and simple, because theres lots of advertisements for it on the televison, so just name their new album and send me an email with the answer! Thanks to those of you, who have entered so far.
